I agree with a comment made by Paul Dennis that all quibbling aside, this is one fantastic job. Just putting together a list of the top 100 is no easy thing. Doing it with thoroughly researched and well written write-ups for each artist is a monumental task. I congratulate you.

I was happy to see a few of my favorites, John Denver, Everly Brothers, the Eagles, Collin Raye and Gene Watson and to a lesser degree (I don’t play them as frequently) Randy Travis, Ronnie Milsap, Alabama, Garth Brooks and Glen Campbell. My #1 country artist, Hal Ketchum …

Now that the list is complete the most startling omissions from the list were Jack Greene, Cal Smith, and Dave Dudley all of whom I would have slotted somewhere in the 50s

I would make the case for Grandpa Jones and Ernest Stoneman as well.
Of course this would mean deleting five artists , which would be a difficult task (I’d dump Eagles, Eck Robertson, Fiddlin’ John Carson, Sawyer Brown and Keith Urban)
